Getting Sleeved March 28th. Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Having my sleeve done on the 28th and being scoped on the 18th. I think I'm more nervous about the scope than the surgery itself. Anyone else in the same boat?

My surgery is the 28th as well. No scoping for me though! Why are you having it done?

Yes, the endoscopy. Does it depend on aspects of your health history?

I needed an endoscopy as part of my pre-op testing. They found 2 polyps on my stomach that they gave medicine for no biggie. They put me under, I remember nothing but waking up and telling the nurse she had a great haircut lol. My throat was a little sore the rest of the day but that's all. I'm a total baby. I

Ok, so it's routine in some practices. I haven't heard a word about it from either my PCP or my surgeon. Interesting......

I will be having surgery on March 29th. Happy to finally have insurance authorization. I'm excited, but I also anticipate some nervousness as the date approaches.

Good luck to you both!

Mine is part of pre-op testing. Along with a stress test.

My surgery is scheduled or March 18. It was originally scheduled or the 11th but had a little hiccup with my secondary insurance. So they had to push it back a week I am so excited just a few more days to go!!! I started this process January 2012 so it has been a long year.

I did pre-admit at the hospital on Tuesday! They ran all sorts of test which I assume where fine as I haven't heard anything back from the doctor!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
